Ok...Thought i would jump into some water cooling and try my hand at it!!
This will be my first time water cooling so im a total noob at it!!
Here are the parts ill be working with!!
APOGEE™ GT Extreme Performance Universal CPU water-block
MCR220 Quiet Power Series DUAL120mm Heat Exchanger
MCP655™ 12 Volts Industrial Pump with speed controller
Custom built acrylic reservoir
7/16" clear tubing

Got the rad mounted!!
Would not fit on the inside so i took the fans off and mounted
them to the inside and the rad on the back!!
Had to go buy some longer screws to make it work!!
Ill just have to decide where im going to route the lines!!
Heres a couple of pics!!

Hahaa... no problem - took me a while to figure it out till I saw one in a build log. It's basically a plastic cage that pushes the radiator away from the back of the case for better airflow without having to remove case metal.

Jabtech has them... along with some good pictures to show how they help mounting:

Personally,i found having the rads upside down made no differance.You can always leave it unscrewed while you bleed the air from it,then screw it on.

Like sasqui said,you can use a rad box and have the barbs facing the back of the case.If you have the rad the way it is,it will mean long pipe runs down to the pci slots,were i guess they are gonna go through.

I would also consider replacing the plastic barbs with metal ones too,just personal preferance though i guess.

Im at work right now but i have the water block installed on the mother board
and everything layed out ready to go!!
Ill jump on it as soon as i get home and set this thing up!!
Ill post some pics when i get the mother board in!!

Keep us updated Made a project log myself when I built my first loop, its really fun to do and document the stuff. I wish you luck that you don't encounter any leaks

Ditto! If you haven't already done a leak test, EastcoastHandle put together a really good summary: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=52032
There's a section on shorting pins on the PSU to run the pump without having any jiuce to the motherboard (Don't forget to remove other power connectors like the 4 pin CPU and PCIe if you do this).

Its best if you run the pump on a seperate PSU. That way you eliminate the chance of forgetting to remove a plugged in wire.
